To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EUGENE FRANKLIN GOODMAN, of Loekport, in the county of Niagara and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hammers, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to admit of the nail being drawn by the claws when the nail-head is driven in even or slightly below the surface of the wood, by making the claws shorter and straighter than those of an ordinary earpenters hammer, and of a curved and tapering wedge shape on the outside.
